A danish electronics store tried to generate translations using GPT: https://www.proshop.fi/?s=as+an+ai+model https://www.proshop.fi/?s=as+an+ai+model "Sorry, as an AI language model, I cannot translate random letter and number combinations like "HD29HLVx" into Finnish or any other language."

Haha, that is hilarious. I wonder why they did not just use deepl or similar that is made for exactly this. Anyhow, I will let them know.

  Cargo culting probably. Everybody is talking about ChatGPT so "obviously" it's the right tool for any job imaginable. Don't need to review the output because it's "omnipotent".

    This problem is going to get worse as GPT gets better. It's the new "but the computer said...", with nobody being willing to realize that it said something insane. I seriously worry about GPT++ setting government policy in 10 years (or, worse, deciding how it's going to be applied case by case).

      GPT++ is going to have to be better than ChatGPT-3 before people in charge will trust it with such decisions. for a cynical take, it can't really be bribed in its current form, so if you simplistically see politicians a being corrupt, GPT++ won't be installed until it can be bribed to act the same as a politician would be, at which point you'd have to exact same level of worry as with today's politicians (who can currently easily be lied to by a lobbyist).

Machine learning models are already doing that, all over the world, with all the problems you would expect (a lot of the AI alignment discussion these days is an attempt by people making money in AI to distract from current AI issues.)

    To be fair it can be better at understanding context sometimes

  Because an AI hustlebro on Twitter told them ChatGPT will solve everything.
